so obviously, there's a lot of headcanons where people will say certain characters are trans or non-binary, and a lot of people will say "trans pride" or "trans rights".

well, what about the cis people and the cis detransitioners who say "cis/detrans rights" "cis/detrans pride"? i've been lately seeing more things where people will headcanon their favorite characters as cis detransitioners.

im fine with detransitioners and cis people, i don't really mind. but i guess i'm confused for some reason as a trans man... also, i don't really understand the cis pride/rights thing because they're not a minority, but detrans i can sorta understand because they're cis but they have experiences that aren't unique to all cis people but also not all trans people (since they detransition)

i guess, maybe deep down, i wish i could be cis... i wish detransition worked for me...

i agree. i do especially know of some people who are desisters, which is like detransitioning but never having taken hormones or surgeries. so basically reverting back to your original pronouns and clothing style, maybe a haircut.

but i hear a lot of people, despite them being cis or looking like their "birth gender", say stuff about "cis rights" or "detransition rights"

    if cis people / detransitioners want to campaign for specific rights that they feel they don't have, they're allowed to do that.

    if they only bring this up when speaking over trans people talking about or campaigning for their rights, they're trolls.
